October Group Break - Box #1 - 2002 Fleer Greats of the Game!

A little on the plain side... but a cool concept nonetheless... some great duos there... all will be randomized to their recipients.

Next up, the hits!!!!!!

A very nice /100 Fisk dual relic (even with a slightly beat up corner)... a nice Mattingly relic and a craptastic redemption.

Ok, so here's the question... does the relic go to the Red Sox or the Yankees... the back clearly shows it's a Mattingly relic, and since the Red Sox belong to a good friend of mine Matt, I called him up and discussed the situation... not revealing the teams involved or anything, he leaned towards randomizing. I then let him know what it was and he overwhelmingly said to send it to Kirk as part of the Yankees stack. With the back so plainly showing it being a Mattingly card, we both think it's the right thing. Thanks Matt!

Nice hit for me! YAY!!! Ironic the other cards in the break of Fisk have him as a BoSox but the hit is a ChiSox.

An my opinion (if it matters) - that bat relic should go to the Yankees. Are there two on there? Sure. But usually when there is two, you have a relic of each player. This is definitely a Mattingly relic, so I think the Yankees get it.

Player Collection Wants

Nolan Ryan - any game used relic, auto or pre 1980 cards. I've got most of his stuff from about 81 through his last year in the league. I'd also be interested in any cards issued after his playing days were over.

Jeff Bagwell - An area of my collection is a bit sparse. I would like to add more game used and some autos as well. Again, if you have anything, I'd definitely be interested in trading for it!
